Beautiful beginnings
When the House of Lancôme was first launched in 1935; the brainchild of the visionary Armand Petitjean, he sought to celebrate the innate beauty and allure of the French woman; known for her spontaneity, sense of free-spiritedness and happiness. The philosophy of 'Life is beautiful with Lancôme' has been passed down amongst generations of stylish Parisians. Petitjean's vision for the brand continues to be translated into the most beautifully wearable makeup and skincare products for women of all ages and skin types.
In 1937 the first iconic Lancôme lipstick was created. The philosophy behind this lip color was “a lipstick must shine brilliantly, like a piece of precious jewellery.” This ethos continues today with Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Matte.
